The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning
Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain +623
This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performanc…
A Method for Deriving Accurate Gas-Phase Abundances for the Multiphase Interstellar Galactic Halo
J. Christopher Howk, Kenneth R. Sembach, Blair D. Savage
We describe a new method for determining total gas-phase abundances for the Galactic ISM with minimal ionization uncertainties. For sight lines toward globular clusters containing…
Highly Ionized Gas in the Galactic Halo and the High Velocity Clouds Toward PG 1116+215
Rajib Ganguly, Kenneth R. Sembach, Todd M. Tripp +1
We have obtained high resolution FUSE and HST/STIS echelle observations of the quasar PG 1116+215. The semi-continuous coverage of the ultraviolet spectrum over the wavelength rang…
Missing Baryons in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium
Todd M. Tripp, David V. Bowen, Kenneth R. Sembach +3
We briefly review the use of UV absorption lines in the spectra of low-redshift QSOs for the study of the physical conditions, metallicity, and baryonic content of the low-z IGM, w…
Abundances in the Neutral Interstellar Medium of I Zw 18 from FUSE Observations
A. Aloisi, S. Savaglio, T. M. Heckman +3
We report on new FUSE far-UV spectroscopy of the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy I Zw 18. The new data represent an improvement over previous FUSE spectra by a factor of…
OVI Emission in the Halos of Edge-on Spiral Galaxies
B. Otte, E. M. Murphy, J. C. Howk +3
We have used the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer to search for OVI 1031.926, 1037.617 A emission in the halos of the edge-on spiral galaxies NGC4631 and NGC891. In NGC4631,…
